Abstract
United States–Russian cooperation on nuclear warhead security from 1995 to 2013 is historically unique and demonstrates how such partnerships can contribute to enhancing nuclear security—even between former adversaries. This cooperation, however, required a deliberate step-by-step approach to build trust before the states were able to provide comprehensive security enhancements for Russia’s nuclear warhead stockpile. The chapter traces the incremental process by which this trust was built, both between officials in cultural exchanges and through progressively more ambitious nuclear security equipment deliveries. Each step demonstrated that the partners were operating in good faith and allowed for results to be achieved, such as US access to Russian warhead storage sites, which, at the outset of the programme, seemed highly unlikely. Although US–Russian joint warhead security work ended in 2013, this programme served as an important foundational effort in global risk reduction initiatives, particularly for nuclear security and as a model for future efforts for cooperation when addressing the most sensitive instruments of state power.
